This is the year it all comes to an end for Peyton. Denver as a team played over its head last year. The Seahawks showed how to get to them. This year, the Broncos will struggle to make the playoffs.

Elway mortgaged the future. Is Peyton better than Tebow? Sure. But, they put off the inevitable. Is Peyton even as good as his younger brother (who has won two Super Bowls and beat the undefeated Patriots to get one of them)? Nope. Peyton Manning could not get the job done against UF and then Tee Martin — say it again, Tee Martin — came in and delivered a National Championship. Peyton’s pro career is marked by similar, if not worse, big game failures.
